I believe they still do. To my knowledge there is no such thing as AL or 
NL umpires. They are interchangeable.

this past series is that the AL strike zone seems to be ENORMOUS.
I couldn't believe the pitches that were called strike, especially the
high strikes. When I'm watching a game with NL umps I can usually
tell right away if a pitch is a ball or a strike. In the games with
the
AL umps there were a number of pitches that clearly seemed to be
balls that were called strikes (on both sides).
